We address a problem which is mathematically reminiscent of the one of Anderson localization, although it is related to a strongly dissipative dynamics. Specifically, we study thermal convection in a horizontal porous layer heated from…
In this paper, we study two PDEs that generalize the urban crime model proposed by Short \emph{et al}. [Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci., 18 (2008), pp. 1249-1267]. Our modifications are made under assumption of the spatial heterogeneity of…
In this paper, we consider queueing systems where the dynamics are non-stationary and state-dependent. For performance analysis of these systems, fluid and diffusion models have been typically used. Although they are proven to be…
We use extreme value statistics to study the dynamics of coarsening in aggregation-fragmentation models which form condensates in the steady state. The dynamics is dominated by the formation of local condensates on a coarsening length scale…
Recent theoretical progress using multiscale asymptotic analysis has revealed various possible regimes of stratified turbulence. Notably, buoyancy transport can either be dominated by advection or diffusion, depending on the effective…
We provide the detailed asymptotic behavior for first-order aggregation models of heterogeneous oscillators. Due to the dissimilarity of natural frequencies, one could expect that all relative distances converge to definite positive value…

We study a conserved mass aggregation model with mass-dependent fragmentation in one dimension. In the model, the whole mass $m$ of a site isotropically diffuse with unit rate. With rate $\omega$, a mass $m^{\lambda}$ is fragmented from the…
This paper is concerned with a strongly degenerate convection-diffusion equation in one space dimension whose convective flux involves a non-linear function of the total mass to one side of the given position. This equation can be…
We consider a problem of identification of point sources in time dependent advection-diffusion systems with a non-linear reaction term. The linear counterpart of the problem in question can be reduced to solving a system of non-linear…
A one-dimensional rule-based model for flocking, that combines velocity alignment and long-range centering interactions, is presented and studied. The induced cohesion in the collective motion of the self-propelled agents leads to a unique…
We study a spatially inhomogeneous coagulation model that contains a transport term in the spatial variable. The transport term models the vertical motion of particles due to gravity, thereby incorporating their fall into the dynamics.…
The statistically steady humidity distribution resulting from an interaction of advection, modeled as an uncorrelated random walk of moist parcels on an isentropic surface, and a vapour sink, modeled as immediate condensation whenever the…
The sedimentation process of granular materials exists ubiquitously in nature and many fields which involve the solid-liquid separation. This paper employs the coupled computational fluid dynamics and discrete element method (CFD-DEM) to…
The properties of dense granular systems are analyzed from a hydrodynamical point of view, based on conservation laws for the particle number density and linear momentum. We discuss averaging problems associated with the nature of such…
